Another of the greats, one of the giants is gone. She lived so much, a rich life with the lows and highs, and always gave so much and always gave her best. Can't compare Aretha to anyone, because there is only one...Aretha Franklin the Queen of Soul..and so much more. Her music was true, sincere, hot with no gimmicks, no formula, just real. That amazing voice and classic sound will never die. Aretha Franklin not just one of a kind or one in a million or even a billion...she was one in a lifetime.
